The tendency of American newspapers
to take unwarrantable liberties with GER
tain nouns is one of the most unsatis-
factory features of contemporary jour
nalism. To turn defenseless noun into
an aggressive verb is an act as lawless as
it is unpunishable. When reporter as
serts that s'John Smith suicided'' he
makes his meaning clear, but he shocks
the nerves of those conservatives who
base their English on dictionary prece-
dent. Interview" used as verb is an
other outcome of journalistic. indcpcnd-
ence. But even the two words cited are
by no means the most striking illustra-
tions of the tendency referred to. A
western paper says that one of its sub
scribers '.Thanksgave'' at home. Shades
of Noah Webster, what word! 1t is on
par with another provincialism which
sometimes shocks the nerves in such a
sentence as the following: "Janes. X
and his brother Sundayed in town. The
list of these yagabond verbs might be
indefinitely extended, but the above will
suffice.
1t seems to be a characteristic of our
people to take the shortest road to the
goal of their desires. The process of
turning nouns into verbs is one of tho
most effective methods of making one
word serve the purpose of two or three.
But is elegance to be sacrificed for SO
petty an object?-Exchange.

The metropolis FIfty Years Ago.

Young folks smile when their grand
fathers tell of the happy days of auld
lang syne. But certain it is that fifty
years ago the people in New York lived
much happier than they do now They
had no artificial wants-only two banks
rarely gave note-but one small play
house-no operas, no ottomans, few sofas
or sideboards, and perhaps not six pianos
in the city. Now more money is paid TO
servants in some of these five story houses
for rubbing, scrnbbing and polishing Of
brasses and furniture-for wiping, dust
ing and breaking of glasses and china
than it took to support a decent family
fifty years ago.-Grant Thorburn.

An ingenious invention is just now be-

Germany, whence we derive no incon-
siderable number of novelties. 1t con-
sists of metal join . 20 be used at each
corner Of an ordinary cardboard box, for
the purpose Of securing the adjacent sides
the employment of paper and paste. The
sides of the box are also turned inward,
instead of outward, after the groove or
cut is made, and this also tends to
threaten the joint. It is claimed that
much stronger and more durable box at
a slight reduction in cost is the result Of
this process, as compared with those
made in the usual way. Boston Budget.

Anglo-Saxon Superiority Over Hindeo.
Col. Amberton, of the British army in
India, while at Agra, had occasion to
have large number Of packing boxes
made. The native carpenters would
make them very cheaply and as good
and serviceable as need be, and to them
the job was given.
One day the colonel went to give some
directions about the work, and while
watching the workmen he was struck
with the clumsiness of their tools, and
the awkward manner in which they
were used. He remarked to the Hindoo
superintendent that a good English car
penter would do more work in day than
ten of those men.
The Hindoo could not believe it. In
fact, he knew better. He would like to
test it. Col Amberton had made his as
sertion somewhat recklessly, but he
would not recede from it. Returning to
camp, he set about it investigating; and
attached to one of the batteries of flying
artillery he found an Englishman who
was carpenter by trade, having served
his time at it, and worked for years with
the saw and hammer.
The following morning a wager was
laid and the single Englishman went to
work against ten natives. The boards
were in the rough and had to be cut and
split to dimensions and nailed together.
The magnificent Sheffield saws worked
like magic, and the artilleryman knew
how to use them. The ten natives did
their best, working not more for the
wage than for their credit, but they were
beaten. AS the dial pounted to the hour
for closing work the Englishman was
three boxes ahead. Chicago Tribune.

again warmly urged by NJ. Kosciclxy, of
Austria, as an antidote for snake bite.

with the antidote at Venezuela, declares
it to be both inexpensive and effective, as

much might be gained in this direction
by experiments with the gals Of other
snakes.-C Chicago Tribune.

THE LESSON or MICHIGAN

Tho outcome of the Prohibition campaign
in Michigan Is full of instruction for the friends
of practical and genuine temperance reform
and the case deserves TO be studied attcntivcly
for it has important and direct bearings upon
the whole question and tho entire country
In Michigan the city population outvotcd that
of the country. The latter, knowing that Pro
hbition could be made effective in villages
concluded that the same rule applied to cities
which was a mistake In the cities the full
strength of the liquor traffic was concentrated
and outside Of the liquor traffic was another
woighty vote, namely that Of the thinking men
who knew that Prohibition could not be en-
forced in centres Of population, and that the
effect of these efforts to enforce it would be
moro demorazing and mischicvous than free
rum. II must be remembered that Michigan
has had wide experience with temperance legis
laton. The people do not have to go abroad
for information "a "a the working Of such laws.
Under ordinary conditions there would prob
ably be a consensus OF opinion there in favor
of High License rs the one measure which has
produced definite good results in that direction.
Under Prohibition drunkenness increased fear
fully. In fact. what really existed there was
free rum. The teaching Of The Michigan cam
paign is Enthusiastically this: That the one RI
tonal and rcalzable temperance policy Of the
immediate future must he High License for
cities and Local Option for the country.
There is never any use in lcgislatng over
the heads of the people. 1t may be gricvou'
to lovers Of their kind that the majority are so
often Indifferent or even aycrSc to reform ;
that they cling so lovingly to their flesh pots ;
that they will make so few sacrifices for the
general good. But statesmen and lawmakers
must deal with the world as it is. and cschcw
profitlcss speculation on the world rs IL ought
TO bc and the obvious truth cannot be missed
that the world as it IS must grow greatly be
fore it can aSsimilatc sweeping reforms like
Prohibition In sparscly inhabited rural places
it is possible TO introduce the principle; but
even then only when a considerable majority
is prepared TO vote for the reform, and that is
why Local Option, which makes every little
social group the sole Judge of It's own regimen,
is the best method Of applying it. In most
largo cities Prohibition is out OF the question.

SCHEMES no BE POSTPONED.

1t is to be hoped that Senator Cullen's scheme
to bleed the city out Of an enormous sum for
the construction of an exterior street on the
East River above Eighticth-s st. will be stcrnly
suppressed at Albany. The city should not
be called upon to pay dollar for any such
purpose for many years to come Not even any
compromise or halfway measure should be toll
Grated. The amendment of the original job
by which it is proposed to levy so per cent of
the cost upon the property benefited and get
the other so per cent out of the city is in no
way defcnsible Riverside and Morningside
and other incomplete parks on Manhattan
Island should be finished before any public
money Is wasted in this way.
There arc far more pressing and important
improvements to be taken up first A thor
ough rcpavng Of the streets is vastly more
necessary and would he infinitely moro val
liable and useful. Moro than twenty mill
ions Of dollars are to be spent on the increase
Of the water supply. Such supcrfluous enter
prises as the Cullen exterior street should be
postDOncd indefinitely.
